It took me a lot of time to actually get an idea for this theme, so I decided to do a different thing. This fic can be consider as a group of drabbles based in different words all together, lets just say they are a group of Mayu/Hatori moments that didn't make it to a complete fic…
Also pardon my lack of imagination for a title…
Enjoy!
Strings of Fate
Words
Theme #4 : Words
If words could express everything we feel…
Orange
He sometimes feels guilty, just scarcely but still. They are together but they don't really know much about each other, he for instances just assumes what she likes not really being sure about it, luckily for him most of his assumptions are correct, a talent which he founds extremely useful, since he doesn't want to cope with the idea of disappointing her.
On the other hand, she is not very good at making assumptions, or at least she doesn't try to make them when she is with him. Does she really know him that well? Because he is insecure in whether telling her what he likes, or letting her discover it.
One day when her head is resting in his shoulders and his hands are playing with the short strands of her hair, he discovers he really doesn't have to say anything, nor to imagine anything, for she has figured him out perfectly.
Her hair smells like orange, a fruit he secretly adores.
Chicken Soup
Cough..
Right now he is playing a role he hasn't play in a long time, more or less four years , he is normally the one who cures people, not the one who needs to be cured, his immune system is very strong for not saying almost indestructible, maybe the pressure of having to take care of Akito all of this years was the thing that maintained him pretty healthy for such a long time, but now that the curse was broken (Hooray for it) he was experiencing this thing he ashamedly admitted he didn't know how to deal with…
Sneeze…Namely a cold.
He didn't know if auto medicating was consider a crime even in doctors, but whatever the answer was, he was doing it nonsense, he didn't trust doctors ironically.
Shigure mockingly told him to eat chicken soup….Baka…Hatori knew better that chicken soup wouldn't cure him, that was just a myth…
Cough…Strangely enough medicines weren't helping either.
Just then Mayu-chan appeared a pink apron around her tiny waist, a bowl of chicken soup in her hands and a warm smile upon her lips, he knew how difficult it was for her to cook.
It was when he eat the first spoonful of soup when he discovered that chicken soup really cure people. Or maybe it was her love. Or maybe it was both.
Soy Milk.
The problem with doctors is, according to her, that they think they know everything, that they think they can boss people around just because they know how to cut you in pieces, Hatori in her eyes was a precious exception, that until yesterday.
She felt sick and nauseous, and she had the perfect excuse to throw up, but she wasn't going to, she wasn't going to use their son for that purpose, no matter how much she hated soy milk…
"Mayu are you okay?"She avoided his eyes intently.
"Mayu, come on, you cant still be angry with me, I wasn't the one who told you that, we even went with another doctor…."
"Still, you were the one that separated me from the normal milk." She stick out his tongue at him.
"I will assume that this attitude is a result of the normal mood swings a woman experiments during pregnancy."
She pouted.
"You know I hate soy milk."
He smiled understandingly.
"I know, but remember it is for the baby."
She smiled
I know….its worth it.
Sleepless nights.
He was not a super human being no matter if he used to have a curse or not, still as any other normal person, he needed eight hours of sleep, but it was kind of difficult to get them completely considering his profession and the fact that he was not an easy sleeper.
Stress, worries and thoughts made him stay awake most of the time, so when for a change Mayu woke him up because she felt like eating strawberries pie (pregnancy was a rare thing) he stood up without difficulties, he had learnt that if he had to spent sleepless nights, he preferred doing it because of his baby more than anything else.
So, here it is I feel very proud of this one, I don't know why…
